what have the thunder shown that they will win another game in this series?

durant and their coach cant get westbrook in order
their coach refuses lineup changes

this team is finished, this series is not going more than 5, and game 5 will just be a formality

I really thought OKC would take this series, but Miami looks like the better team right now. I was not expecting LeBron to play at his current level.

OKC needs to get tougher, they looked softer than ice cream for most of this game to me.

YOU GOTTA LOVE DURANT LOOKING FOR A HUG FROM HIS MOTHER ON THE SIDELINES WITH 3 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND HIM SOME FAREWELL FLOWERS TO HIS HOTEL ROOM.... BETTER ADDRESS THEM TO HIS MOTHER BECAUSE SHE WILL BE THERE TO RECEIVE THEM WHILE SEE GIVES HIM HIS BABY BOTTLE AND TUCKS HIM IN FOR THE NIGHT! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Honestly, the Thunder would have won this game if Durant didn't commit those fouls. The Heat were reeling. I expect them to make the lineup changes throughout the game just to keep the player's respect, but expect more Sefolosha on LeBron.

as much as i hate him, he's been at another level in these finals. But we knew he could get to game 4 of the finals with a 2-1 lead. Last year in game 4 he had 8 points and played the worst game of his career, this is really the final test. Win this game and game 4 is a formality. Lose and its anybody's series.

I thought I just watched a thunder team not play it's best game... it's 6th man not hit shots... it's leading scorer get in foul trouble when they were building a lead???? They didn't play a good game by any stretch and were right there in the game the whole way and even had a chance to win if they hit the free throws they always hit.

Some of you guys (pharm) just aren't paying attention... they're young and learn slow but when they do they are almost unbeatable.

The refs will help OKC next game, book it! The NBA wants this series to go back to OKC for possibly a game 7.......for the largest game ratings in NBA hstory!!!

ok is a overrated team

they beat lal and sas cuz those teams dont have the young legs

match OK athleticism and you;'ll beat them, thats what MIA is doing

OK continues to make numerous mental mistakes b/c they are just not ready for the big stage

this series is over the next 2 games are just a formality

Has Lebron even had fewer than 20 points this entire postseason? He is averaging 30 points the entire postseason and playing way better than last year. This year Lebron is not afraid to be the man. Last year he deferred to Wade.

Durant came empty in the 4th while Lebron made baskets/plays. But Lebron is the one that chokes.

Miami's defense is too good and OKC looks young out there.

Their overrated? you were aware that San Antonio had young legs also and had just won 20 games in a row, right? You were aware that LA had an all time great and two 7footers, right? They didn't play the pacers or the Knicks..

Pharm you're just doubling down... I know it when I see it. You're trying to redeem yourself for last years epic foot in your mouth... show a little respect to the game and to those of us that spend countless hours watching it.. will you? You already said Miami was going to sweep them and that didn't happen.. so please just stop being a jerk. We got it last year you LOVE the Heat for whatever reason.. but disrespecting the Thunder the way you've been is going to come back to bite you in the ass... trust me.

The Lebron James sperm is flowing and I can think of two "knicks" fans that need to put a bib on.

I forgot we're not allowed to pick one of the two teams in the finals that we want to win it. :roll:

I must admit, I thought Durant was a better defensive player than what I've seen during this series so far. Well, I even more scared now after watching him in the post game tell reporters he is going to find a way to stay on the floor longer....I can only think of one way for him to do that in this series, and that is to not play any defense, especially in the first half. Actually, I thought he tried that tactic in the first,second, third and fourth quarters!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
